Enjoy the Choice

I will inform myself about this and I'm still a Fedorianer.

BTW: In my opinion, the pictures of the ship look pretty cool, like from a computer game.

I didn't knew, that you could write german, but with with your name it would be a miracle,
if you couldn't speak at least a litte bit, you have a german name.

I'm slowly learning german, but i don't speak much. I can write it better. My father is German. From the Black Forest.

Hello

And now something about the faaaaaastest train (speep world record).

Congatulations France, @arno, I knew, the french were planing something.

The news I got on April 04, 2007 01:38am from this link:
http://www.news.com.au/story/0,4057,21502153-2,00.html

The german opinion is, the french fucked all the electric motors of this train to get this record, and that the main engine of this train is out of order forever (unrepairable) after this record.

Anyway congratulations, France for this worldrecord, football worldchampionship is for Italie.

The people speak about 574,8 km/h, I think it's more or less around 345 miles an hour.
I my counting, there was 1 mile = 1.6 km
And a picture:

Did the french rig the train, still i would like to be the enginer. I can understand his smile asn when i first drove a train i was VERY happy and had a huge smile.

Well the Japanese still hold the real record.

@micheal_andreas_stahl
So it was a convenitional train record ( with wheels),
and not one without wheels with electromagnetic things, this record is 6 km faster
and like you told form Japan.

And even the japanese train is not the fastest rail vehicle, see above

10,300 km/h (Mach 8.6) USA, Holloman Air Force Base High Speed Test Track, unmanned rocket sled, 30 April 2003.

But what was this, a rocket on the railroad?

I don't believe this until I get more informed about this record or lie.

And a happy easter monday
to all of you.

micheal_andreas_stahl · Mon Apr 09, 2007 9:34 am

Yes but that was driven by a rocket on wheels, so it is out of the picture, on the same track the maglev is also out because it is driven by magnets on wheels.

Hello

I was not shure to post this or not,
please don't think I'm a sensationalist.

But how thick a person can be to shoot more than 30 persons in a university.
Happened today in Blacksburg, Va.

I understand, if noone wants to answer this,
but if you answer please in a way, which offends noone.

I don't understand, why they sell guns in the U.S.A,
and I don't understand what makes a man that crazy to do such a horrible thing,
I mean, if I would want to commit suicide ( I never would do this), I don't need to kill other people too,
perhaps they liked their lives.

micheal_andreas_stahl · Wed Apr 18, 2007 1:09 am

Well, i feel sorry for the people who were involved in the incident, but there are massacres that never make it on to the news. Most merder are comitted with kitchen knives.

I remember a discussion that I had with a resident of Georgia who elected to decline a scholarship to Stanford because California restricts gun permits.

It was his belief that it is the civic responsibility of a US citizen to retain firearms & to be properly trained in their use for the purpose of self defence from the government.

Hmmm, there is nothing wrong with guns. Just the people that go around murdering people with them.

In Australia farmers can't have shotguns, school boys will be arrested for having a sling shot. As a farmer I need a rifle more capable of -pop-reload-reload-reload-look-up-fox, goat, raven-is-gone. If i take a shoot at an animal that is trying to kill one of my livestock and miss, sure it runs away but it will be back to get my sheep. i need to be able to kill it then and there.

Sadly, this is not true in the United States. There, guns are the leading murder weapon.

(a) see a doctor and be assessed before being given a prescription for anti-depressants; which is then verified by the pharmacist before being dispensed. OR, . . .

That might have some bearing on the difference between Australia & US murder statistics.

I'm in Australia. A normal person can't get a gun. In fact tou have to have a lisence and be over 25 to get a sling shot.

If a person really wants a gun then they will still be able to get one - not legally of course. The big difference is due to the lack of convenience that this brings along - it will be a lot of effort to get one, and in the largely gunless society this has created many other objects make just as effective weapons...

At the other extreme, in the USA, there is a 1/3 chance that any given household will have one or more guns. The sheer convenience of using a gun makes it among the most popular tools in the USA for resolving domestic disputes.

Resolving your domestic dispute in this manner is not legal, of course.

Hello

At the moment there is the "G8-meeting in germany.
Bush, Putin, Merkel and five more presidents hanging around in a little village near the baltic sea in germany.

(surrounded by a 13 km big fence and lots of police),
the bigest amount of police ever was in germany for such an event.
But it seems that there are not enough policemen.
The anti-globalisation-demonstrants tricked out the police quite easily and went to the fence,
they walked over the fields and through the forest, the police reacted and send their
people with helicopters to the important places, but with not enough people or not enough helicopters?!

Fedora 7 is released!!!

I had no problem to upgrade it from Fedora 6,
O.K I had a generic Kernel, FC7 removes the old FC6-kernel,
which perhaps can cause problems(grub doesn't find the kernel and could make the system not bootable), but with an alternative kernel, no problems(it will be not removed).
I just downloaded "fedora-release" and "fedora-release-notes",
installed them with rpm -uhv *, they were in one directory,
then a simple "yum update",
half an hour later you have "moonshine" and a desktop with 3 balloons over the clouds,
only some tops of the mountains in the middle of the clouds.
Beautiful.

No Warranty for upgrading, I only can say that I did it that way without problems.
